Zhou Sen found that there are many bars in Singapore, and the bars are all playing Western music, and there are very few local music in Singapore, which is more Westernized.

"Yes, Singapore is the most westernized country in Asia, and this has something to do with its history!" Xiao Zhao nodded, "They have accepted Western musical instruments, saxophone, young people like rock and roll, more avant-garde, they think it is very fashionable, very trendy, although there are many Chinese people here, but the way of thinking is different from the Chinese we Chinese mainland, the language habits are different, they speak more English, but they also receive education in their mother tongue, but they can't learn Chinese the art of euphemism and subtlety and speaking around the corner, and the questions are more direct." ”

"This is when our family first came, we were not used to it, because of the different ways of thinking, there were a lot of jokes when we communicated, but then we got used to it and were able to adapt to it, so that my family could live here. ”

"Although Singapore is the most westernized country in Asia, there are some of the cultures and values that the Chinese Singaporeans believe in are really very traditional. ”

"By the time it comes to the Lunar New Year, Singapore's Chinatown will be full of lights, with hundreds of giant Zodiac lanterns, a New Year's market, and the annual International Lion King Invitational Tournament. ”

"This kind of culture, I'll introduce it to you slowly in the future, let's go to see the Singapore Flyer first, which is a must-see attraction for tourists!"

"Okay!" Zhou Sen agreed.

Videographer Liu Dazhuang carried a camera to shoot, Singapore's 165-meter-high Ferris wheel was built near the Singapore River, and Clarke Quay opened a cruise ship that went directly to the Ferris wheel, Xiao Yang took Zhou Sen to see the Ferris wheel.

There is no lighting effect during the day, Xiao Yang suggested shooting at night, in order to shoot, the cameraman also worked hard, and at night, the Ferris wheel has a lighting effect, the blue and purple dazzling keep switching colors, both sides of the Singapore River are modern commercial buildings, towering, the beautiful river casts the light phantom of the building complex, very beautiful.

The huge Ferris wheel, which is more beautiful up close, and the lights are blue and purple, which looks more mysterious and fairytale-like, and the Ferris wheel attracts a large number of tourists and Singaporeans to stop and watch, and it is very lively.

The neon lights of other buildings are constantly flashing and dazzling, there are red and orange, and the blue and purple lights on the Ferris wheel have a strong contrast effect, the weather here is relatively hot, people are wearing short sleeves, there are young people sitting by the river to watch the river scenery, watching the ripples in the river, the breeze is light, it is very comfortable.

Zhou Sen also sat by the river and watched the riverside scenery, and felt that it was very good here, both casual and a little romantic.

Xiao Zhao took everyone to the restaurant to eat, the restaurant was prosperous in the evening, the waiter shuttled in the meantime, very busy, Xiao Zhao helped Zhou Sen order a few dishes, Zhou Sen didn't know much about Singaporean food, all rely on Xiao Zhao's introduction.

"You can help me order, I'm not a picky eater anyway, you can eat anything!"

"When you come to Singapore, you must eat seafood, Southeast Asian countries are close to the sea, and seafood is often seen!"

"If you haven't eaten Chili Crab or Pepper Crab from Jumbo Seafood, have you ever been to Singapore?"

"Chilli crab or pepper crab must be ordered!"

The waiter brought it up, it was already fragrant, Zhou Sen took a look, it was indeed very good-looking, the pepper crab was big and red, and it was very eye-catching.

Xiao Zhao said: "Singapore's chilli crab is Singapore's national dish, this type of chilli crab, award-winning, with more than 10 kinds of Southeast Asian spices and Western tomato sauce to make a chili sauce, stir-fried fresh crab, so that the crab retains juicy and firm meat, exudes a natural sweet aroma, almost perfectly reflects Singapore's unique diverse food culture." ”

"I also ordered black pepper crab, which is also well-known all over the world, but the black pepper crab is more spicy, and people who eat it for the first time may not be able to get used to it, you eat first, if it's too spicy, order some drinks!"

"Wow, I'm so happy to be able to eat so many crabs, I really like to eat crabs, so you're welcome, let's go!"

"Let's go, let's go, you're welcome, the crabs are enough, I'll treat you, if it's not enough, order it again!" Xiao Yang was very generous and refreshing.

He asked the waiter to order some drinks, and Zhou Sen really couldn't get used to eating too spicy black pepper crabs.

"Why is it so spicy, how much black pepper is sprinkled here?"

"Hahaha!" Xiao Yang smiled, "I know that people who have just come to Singapore are not used to eating, if it is too spicy, you can drink some drinks, which can only be used to people like me who have been in Singapore since childhood!"

"My mother also often cooks these two dishes at home, sometimes there are relatives and friends come to the house as guests, they like to eat crabs, and it is cheaper to make them at home than in the restaurant. ”

Zhou Sen was curious, "Can you eat so spicy at home?"

"Yes, I didn't adapt at the beginning, but I got used to it after a long time, there is a process, so the Chinese from Chinese mainland, because the taste is different from the Chinese in Singapore, so the difference is reflected in the concept, food culture and living habits, all aspects, people have habits, this habit is deep-rooted, it is difficult to change for a while, and it needs a gradual adaptation process." ”
